LOGINSheila rejected, “I am having a day off in a few days, but I’ve already agreed to spend it with Grandma May.“Every time your parents come to the city, isn’t it Ms. Hicks who takes care of them and spends time with them? Kent, Ms. Hicks is truly sincere and devoted to you and your family, and you’ve even slept with her before. I hope you don’t let her down.“You say you don’t like her, but you’ve never rejected her, making her think she still has a chance. That’s evidence enough that you don’t feel nothing for her.”Kent said he loved her, and Sheila did not doubt it.However, Sheila did not believe it when he said he did not like Mary.Mary had given him so much, and he should not let her down.“Sheila, why do you keep pushing me toward Mary? I don’t— It’s not what you think between us. I was drunk that night and we didn’t do anything. Nothing happened between us.”“Kent, it’s because I don’t love you, but Mary does. So I’m pushing you toward her because that’s where your happi
“Good afternoon, Kent,” Sheila spoke first.Kent, on the other hand, was silent for a moment before speaking. “Sheila, did you just get up from your nap? Or are you already at work?”“I haven’t left for work yet. I’m getting ready to, though. What’s up?”“Nothing much, I just wanted to call you to hear your voice.”Sheila fell silent for a moment before saying, “Kent, you don’t have to do this. There’s no way we’re getting together. I’ve already said all I need to say.“Also, this issue is between us. It’s got nothing to do with Alex. Stop looking for him. At best, we can only be considered ordinary friends.”“Did Alex run to tattle to you? It’s not like I did anything to him, really, I just had a chat with him. Sheila, Alex isn’t suitable for you. He doesn’t even have a proper job. When I asked him if his job was helping his cousin’s wife collect rent, he actually looked so proud of himself.“Don’t be fooled by his handsome exterior and sweet nothings.”Kent never expected Ale
Geraint agreed. “We’re not going out anymore. It’ll only make us spend more money. Just look at how much stuff you and Kent bought for us this morning. Every time we come over, you guys buy so much stuff for us to take back.”Though a large part of it was paid for by his son, Mary had bought some as well.“Kent, since your clinic is closed today and you’re free in the afternoon, why don’t you take Mary out for a change of pace? You guys are at the clinic every day, so you probably don’t get much time to go out and let loose,” Talia suggested.Mary looked towards her boss with anticipation.She wanted to go out with Kent, even if it was just for a drive. As long as she could be with him, she would be happy.After a beat of silence, Kent replied, “I don’t know where to go, though. Mary, do you have any place in mind?”“How about the beach? I haven’t been in ages and I’d like to go, enjoy the sea air, and have some seafood. I actually quite like seafood.”One of the dishes she had
Geraint and Talia both nodded.“Have a good think about it. This will affect the rest of your life and will decide if you have a happily ever after.“Whether or not your future wife will be good to us is secondary. After all, it’s your life. Once you get married, you guys will definitely stay here in the city and will only come home occasionally.“Your father and I will continue staying in our hometown. Even once we get too old to move, we have your siblings to take care of us, so we probably won’t trouble you guys too much.“So, you should put yourself first.“If you can’t find someone you like who also likes you back, you should choose the one who loves you most, because only then will she treat you well and embrace everything about you.“If you choose someone who you love but doesn’t love you back, you’re the one who’ll end up suffering.”Kent lost himself in thought.Mary finished washing the dishes and tidied the kitchen before taking off the apron and walking out.“Mary,
The family of three enjoyed a lovely chat on the living room sofa. Two plates of sliced fruit and biscuits were thoughtfully placed on the coffee table by Mary. Mary was doing the dishes in the kitchen. She bought groceries and cooked up a storm. Aware of Talia’s high blood sugar, Mary took extra care in preparing food suitable for her diet. Mary’s level of commitment and care impressed Talia. “Kent, look at Mary. She’s cleaning up after getting the groceries and cooking. You won’t find girls of her caliber anywhere anymore. “She’s thoughtful and perceptive. She always makes sure I can enjoy tasty and diabetic-friendly food whenever I visit. “I’ve been thinking. I believe Mary is a better fit for you and our family.” Geraint said, “I’m with your mother on this. Yes, Dr. Jones comes from a good family, but she is not interested in you. Even if you somehow manage to marry her, she will never respect us. “She might think little of us since we are from the countryside. “
“The Yorks are old money. They have class and history,” Marvin said. “You still have time for a half-hour nap.” Sheila was lucky to catch a breather in between her busy schedule. Without a nap, Sheila would have to survive on coffee to last the day. Marvin believed Sheila would reduce her caffeine intake and get some shut-eye. “Uncle Marvin, I’m heading up to rest now. Alex is picking me up later. I left my e-bike at work, so he’s driving me over later.” Marvin uttered with a smile, “Relax, he’s not going to leave without you.” Alex was certainly more attentive than Kent. Between the two rivals, Marvin would put his money on Alex. Sheila had turned Kent down multiple times, and Marvin could pick up that Kent was getting cold feet. Kent did not make any effort other than waiting at the clinic since Sheila rejected him. It never occurred to Kent to pick Sheila up from work or take her out for a meal. Sure, Sheila was bound to decline his invitations, but that was to b
“Josh!” Zachary was peeved. It was the truth when Zachary said it was all for his pride. Serenity was his wife. It would be a slap on his face if Serenity was harassed. He could not possibly let that happen. “Fine, fine. I let you be. It’s all for your pride and dignity. Alright, I’ll look into the
